Over the past year, The Partnership has done quite a lot to reshape how people interact with Downtown’s built environment. Working closely with the City and our stakeholders, we removed skywalks and restored sightlines into Hopkins Plaza. We reanimated fountains and renovated building façades. And, after years of behind-the-scenes work, our redesign concepts for Pratt Street took several major steps forward.

Most recently, we eliminated the earthen berms and dying trees in the 100 and unit blocks of east Pratt Street and installed better sidewalks, new trees, water runoff control zones, and new streetlights. We also put out café tables and programmed activities that included a weekly farmers market, Orioles Pep Rallies, salsa dancing, and a red carpet runway for costumed Otakon conventioneers.

A few blocks away, we worked with the property owners at 400 East Pratt Street on an addition that will bump out the front of their existing building. This idea was first proposed in the Pratt Street Master Plan to narrow the extremely wide sidewalk and create a more pedestrian-friendly scale. The project will also modernize the façade of the building and allows for the addition of retail space.

Reinventing Downtown has been at the heart of The Partnership’s work under outgoing Board Chair, John Frisch. His leadership maintained our finances and led to a critical surcharge increase even as property values fell during the recession. John oversaw the release of key strategic planning documents, the growth of our capital projects, and forward movement on initiatives, such as office-to-residential building conversion and the new Mechanic Centre, which will be critical to Downtown’s future. It should also be noted that the Orioles returned to the playoffs and the Ravens won the Super Bowl during John’s tenure. Coincidence?

Looking ahead, our new Chair, Dr. Jay Perman, will continue this work, particularly in the nascent Bromo Tower Arts District where great things are happening but much work remains to be done. Together with the City, we will push for meaningful improvements to Lexington Market and redevelopment of vacant properties. We will encourage additional shops and street level activity, and we will unveil a new name for Census Tract 401, the office tower district that has been Baltimore’s fastest-growing neighborhood over the past decade.

I encourage you to track our progress at GoDowntownBaltimore.com, or @DowntownKirby.

paying off with several projects coming on-line. Berms were removed and new trees planted

on two consecutive blocks at pratt & Light streets. signature design elements, including an

innovative rain garden for water runoff filtration, were installed at 100 e. pratt. Meanwhile,

at 400 e. pratt, the skywalk and berms were removed and work began on a bump out of the

existing building, something we hope will continue all along the north side of pratt street.

buSineSS & eCOnOmiC deVelOpmenTDowntown Partnership of Baltimore markets Downtown Baltimore to exist-ing and potential businesses, engages public and private institutions on Downtown’s behalf, and conducts small and minority business outreach. We also create transportation and parking improvement strategies, public arts initiatives, and a variety of reports, including: the State of Downtown Report—an annual economic analysis of Downtown Baltimore; the Downtown Baltimore Development Report; and timely monthly business development and investment updates.

markeTing, COmmuniCaTiOnS & eVenTS The Partnership promotes Downtown as the region’s top business, resi-dential, cultural, and entertainment destination through business network-ing events, marketing and informational publications, media relations, and retention programs. We reach out to individual consumers with advertising and public relations campaigns, and through special events and promo-tions like First Thursdays in Hopkins Plaza, Kids Month, and Baltimore’s Summer and Winter Restaurant Weeks. We support these efforts with web-sites, such as GoDowntownBaltimore.com and GetAroundDowntown.com, an active social media presence, and traditional advertising.

hOSpiTaliTy & OuTreaCh Within the 106-block Downtown Management Authority (DMA) district, we provide a range of services that create a more comfortable and inviting environment for Downtown employees, visitors, and residents. Our efforts include deployment of Downtown Baltimore Guides, Courtesy Escorts, the Video Patrol network, the Public Safety Coalition, the Street Smart aware-ness campaign, outreach to the homeless, and panhandling deterrence.

imprOVing The exTeriOr enVirOnmenT We also provide cleaning, maintenance, and landscaping services within the DMA with the goal of keeping Downtown clean, attractive, and well-maintained. Our Clean Sweep Ambassadors remove litter and graffiti on a daily basis, and provide jobs to formerly homeless individuals who need workforce training and a solid start to a new life. The Green Team de-ploys Park Stewards who landscape Downtown’s parks and plazas and maintain the almost 400 flower pots we‘ve placed throughout the area. We also make capital improvements to Downtown’s open spaces through our Streetscape and Façade Improvement Programs, and, with the help of our partners, we’ve deployed a wayfinding signage system to help everyone navigate Downtown’s diverse neighborhoods.

Downtown Baltimore is known for its iconic skyline and Inner Harbor, but it’s much more than that. It’s the economic center of Greater Baltimore and home to the city’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. Downtown has 113,000 jobs and 40,000 residents, which ranks 8th in the country for residential density — ahead of cities like Atlanta, Denver, Miami, and Washington, DC.

to diverse, walkable communities with distinct architecture and easy

access to jobs, shopping, restaurants, and cultural destinations.Downtown is also the gathering spot for holiday celebrations, sporting

events, or just a night on the town. That’s why, no matter where you live, Downtown Baltimore is your neighborhood, too.

dOwnTOwn managemenT auThOriTyDowntown Partnership’s operations programs include all our uniformed staff: the Downtown Baltimore Guides, Clean Sweep Ambassadors, and Green Team. The operations teams work in the 106-block Downtown Management Authority (DMA) district and are funded by a surcharge on assessed property value within the DMA. Since the DMA was created in 1992, property owners continuously reaffirm its value by reauthorizing its services every five years, including in 2012 when our reauthorization received the total support of our stakeholders.

dOwnTOwn balTimOre guideSYou’ll find Downtown Baltimore Guides throughout the DMA helping pe-destrians, checking in on businesses, providing homeless outreach, and assisting the police. Last year, the Guides helped approximately 360,000 people and interacted with businesses 400,000 times.

OuTreaCh prOgramS ThaT wOrkThe Partnership employs an outreach worker dedicated to helping the homeless find permanent living space, and all Downtown Baltimore Guides receive special training from Baltimore Homeless Services and the Police Department through the Hands in Partnership program.

Clean Sweep ambaSSadOrSDowntown Partnership’s Clean Sweep Ambassadors have a challenging job. Every day they’re out on the streets from before dawn until well after most people have gone to bed, picking up litter, removing graffiti, empty-ing Downtown’s public trash cans, and power-washing sidewalks. In the past year, the team has been more effective than ever, adding its own gar-bage truck and collecting more than 290 tons of garbage. The team also scrubbed graffiti and fielded a special unit to tackle jobs like refurbishing Downtown’s decorative trash cans.

SpeCial OperaTiOnSIn addition to their daily responsibilities, the Clean Sweep Ambassadors target problem areas or places that could use a little extra attention. Each spring, Operation Check-In helps hotels prepare the areas around their buildings for the influx of seasonal tourists. The aptly named Up Your Alley initiative focuses on areas that are seldom seen but important to Downtown’s overall sanitation and appearance.

The CSAs also perform special clean–ups on the grounds of St. Vincent de Paul. The church allows the homeless to stay there but the area had, in the past, been unsightly and unsanitary. Our crews performed the initial clean–up and, under a special arrangement with the church, keep it clean and well–groomed on a daily basis.

when people think about cities, they often think about the build-ings that comprise the skyline. But cities are just as much about the spaces in between the buildings. Well-designed and

nicely manicured public spaces pull people out of their apartment, office, or hotel, and are integral to a successful community.

Over the past several years, we’ve dramatically expanded our portfo-lio of exterior improvements by leading capital improvement projects in Center Plaza, Hopkins Plaza, and Preston Gardens; by creating the Green Team to improve and maintain open spaces; and by a con-tinuing series of redesign projects along Pratt Street. Through these efforts, we are helping property owners change the way they think about the space that surrounds their buildings.th
